PART II — When Persecution Becomes Policy
By Caleb Ta (Dr.) Independent Researcher in African Political Affairs; Human Rights Advocate
The role of the federal and regional governments, the Oromo Prosperity Party establishment, and the question of genocidal intent
The most difficult questions begin where Part I ends.
A burned village can be investigated. A destroyed home can be documented. A killing can be recorded. A displaced family can tell its story. But when similar events occur repeatedly across different communities, investigators must eventually look beyond the immediate perpetrators and ask whether the institutions responsible for protection knew what was happening, how they responded, and whether their actions—or their inaction—formed part of a broader pattern.
That is the point at which persecution becomes a question of policy.
